This position is ideal for a program management professional who enjoys building structure, improving workflows, and helping teams turn operational challenges into lasting solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Own and maintain operational process documentation, including playbooks, workflows, and checklists, so information stays accurate, organized, and easy to access.

  • Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to support investigation efforts and help ensure process improvements are adopted into daily operations.
  • Build and maintain dashboards and reporting that provide visibility into issue trends, throughput, and overall program health.
  • Support initiatives tied to fleet expansion by tracking milestones, dependencies, risks, and action items across teams.
  • Facilitate recurring triage meetings, program check-ins, and stakeholder updates to keep work moving forward.
  • Contribute to broader program management efforts, including scheduling, status updates, and process improvement activities as needed.

Skills

  • Experience in program management or project management, preferably in a technical, operations, fleet, automotive, robotics, or similarly fast-paced environment.
  • Strong working knowledge of Jira and Confluence for workflow tracking and documentation management.
  • Ability to create, document, and improve operational processes with a focus on clarity and consistency.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills for working across engineering, operations, and leadership teams.
  • Comfort working in an environment with shifting priorities and ambiguous problem statements.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience supporting fleet operations, manufacturing, or other scale-up programs.
  • Familiarity with root cause analysis methods such as five whys or fishbone diagrams.
  • Background in autonomous vehicle or robotics operations.
  • Experience improving workflows through data-driven reporting and structured problem solving.
